Default AU2 Auto Issues.

Maybe a simple answer but i have no idea....
AU2 auto stock as a rock, straight LPG.
Lowered to King SSL with tickford 17's.

When driving and going over bumps in the road you can see the gear selector move 5mm either side of drive. As if it's going to jump into N or 3rd. Is there anyway to tighten the selector or is the something worse going on with the trans???

Its lowered, it will move around.

Suggest check the rear gearbox mount is in good condition, as well as the engine mounts, if they are fine then I have no idea.

Mine moves around a bit as well. It concerned me at first but then I read that its a common thing.

I guess if it bothers you, try not to look at it! LOL!

I guess it's like annoying rattles, you know they're nothing to worry about, but they still bug the heck out of you anyway!
